The Tardis starts to materialise in the front garden of the Redburn House. The trees in the nearby area start to sway as the wind picks up, until the Tardis lands.
Maya and Greg exit The Tardis, and they look at their house. Maya smiles "is it good to be home" Greg smiles at her "yes it is" Maya laughs as The Doctor walks out of the Tardis "right, I'll come to pick you up in three days, yeah?" Maya smiles "that sounds great" The Doctor smiles "see you". 
The Doctor watches Maya and Greg walk into their home, and as The Doctor goes to walk into the Tardis, he then looks to the left, at a tree, where he sees a sign on it. 
The Doctor walks over to the three where he sees a 'Missing Persons' sign. The Doctor looks at it with sadness in his eyes. But as he turns around, he sees another tree with a sign, but of a different person, The Doctor then looks at it curiously. 
The Doctor then turns around and he sees another tree with a different person on. The Doctor looks at the bottom of the sign where it says 'any information, please contact Detective Kathy Yates'. The Doctor looks at the name and he then nods "Kathy Yates, The Doctor's on the case".

Kathy steps onto a crunch leaf as she walks into a forest with The Doctor. Kathy goes "look, we've searched this place a dozen times, you're not going to find anything different than what we have" The Doctor looks around and he goes "so, the missing people leave their vehicles on the side of the road, and you find footprints that lead into the forest, there has to be something, people just don't disappear with no reason" Kathy stares at him "can I see your badge again?" The Doctor goes "not important, what's important is this". Kathy watches The Doctor walking over to a tree. Kathy smirks "what? A tree?" The Doctor goes "look at the wood, it's burnt, and it's warm" Kathy then walks over to the tree and she touches it "okay, weird? But what is it?" The Doctor looks around, feeling uneasy and he goes "I don't know, but do you ever have the feeling-" Kathy then interrupts him "that we're being watched? All the time" The Doctor smiles at her "I like you, Kathy Yates, I like someone with a bit of power" Kathy stares at him "you haven't seen what kind of power I have" The Doctor smiles"and I love a sense of humour" Kathy continues to stare at him "are you trying to flirt with me?" The Doctor starts to walk off "don't be disgusting". 
Kathy watches as The Doctor walks into the forest and Kathy goes "where are you going? Don't go and get lost, I'd rather not be putting up another face as missing" The Doctor then goes "don't worry, I'm not going too far" Kathy stands there watching him walk off. 
Suddenly, Kathy turns around as she hears something running behind her. Kathy then goes "Doctor?" The Doctor then looks at her "yeah?" Kathy goes "did you hear that?" The Doctor walks over to her "what was it?" Kathy then shakes her head "probably nothing".
Continuing to walk through the forest, birds chirp in the sky, and The Doctor pulls his Sonic Screwdriver out, scanning around the forest, and reading it for any data. The Doctor then sighs. 
Kathy looks over at him "what is that device?" The Doctor smiles "just a thing, it helps me navigate" Kathy nods "so, which way?" The Doctor goes "I don't know" Kathy stares at him "I thought it helped you to navigate?" The Doctor nods "it does, but I can't pick anything up". 
Kathy goes "well, it's a bit rubbish then" The Doctor looks at him "oi! This is actually very-".
Suddenly, there's a low evil growl from behind them. The Doctor and Kathy turn around, and Kathy and The Doctor stare at a creature that's almost eight-foot-tall. Kathy then goes "what is that?" The Doctor takes Kathy's hand and he says "run!". The Doctor and Kathy run.


(Commercial Break)


Running through the forest together, the growling is heard coming from behind. 
The Doctor then stops as he sees smoking coming from another direction. Kathy then grabs his hand "RUN!". The Doctor then continues to run, until a cabin is seen in the distance. Kathy smiles "in here!". Kathy and The Doctor run up a set of stairs, and they run into the cabin. 
As Kathy shuts the door, the smell of faeces hits them. The Doctor points his sonic as a torch and he goes "blimey" Kathy covers her nose and she says "that is disgusting" The Doctor nods "well, it means something's living in here if they're doing their business in here" Kathy goes "what was that thing outside?" The Doctor and Kathy walk into a room and The Doctor shakes his head "not entirely sure just yet, got a small hunch, but I need more stuff" Kathy looks into the room, which is empty and she says "what stuff?" The Doctor and Kathy walk out of the room and he goes "you know, just stuff-". The Doctor and Kathy then walk into another room, where they see hundreds of bones all over the floor. Kathy then stares in shock "is that stuff?" The Doctor nods.
Kathy stands writing on a small notepad, as The Doctor kneels beside the bones. The Doctor goes "what do you hope to achieve with those notes?" Kathy goes "this is a crime scene, these bones might link something to the missing people" The Doctor looks at the bones and he goes "actually, I think we just found the missing people" Kathy then sees The Doctor pick up a wallet, with a face of one of the missing people. Kathy face drops into shock "what did this to them?" The Doctor goes "well, I'd blame that creature outside, wouldn't you?" Kathy goes "but it ate them...inside here?" The Doctor nods "all of them, and it seems to use the toilet in here too" Kathy nods at him until the two of them then stare at each other. The Doctor then goes "we'd better get outta here, like right now" Kathy nods at him "I second that, please can we go". 
The two of them run out of the cabin together and Kathy goes "where do you think it is?" The Doctor goes "maybe looking for its next meal" Kathy nods "so we should get back to the car?" The Doctor shakes his head "we'd never make it, it knows we're here" Kathy looks at him "what do we do then?" The Doctor looks over at the smoke in the distance and he points at it "well, I wanna see what's causing that" Kathy nods at him "alright, you first though" The Doctor nods.
